Interesting point made in this article about...
My name is Jane Lyons and I began transcribing Laois graveyards back in 1996. I have been photographing Irish gravestones for the last 8 or 9 years.
ReplyDeleteI have a website called from-ireland and it has been online since 2001. We currently have a gravestone index with about 19,200 names in it - of people from all over Ireland.
We are uploading 14,000+ photographs from 109 graveyards to from-ireland ...over the next few weeks. They are mainly gravestone photographs taken in counties from Cork to Dublin. My main concentration has been Laois and Kilkenny graveyards needless to say.
Once this collection is made available to the public it will be one of the largest collection of Irish gravestone photographs available on the internet. Each gravestone has had the names on it added to our index and the index will show people which graveyard to go to to get the photographs
